Using the Age Group Ranking Points system (AGR); the total available points for a full-distance IRONMAN is 5,000 points, for an IRONMAN 70.3 is 3,500 points and Olympic Distance 1000 points.

AGR points are calculated based on the athlete’s race finish time behind the first finisher in his/her age group. Points continue to drop as the race time increases, until the points reach a "point floor," at which point they don’t drop any further and every athlete after this will receive the value of the “point floor.”

COMPETITION

The program offers TriClubs two different annual Competitions. A virtual Competition – the Global IRONMAN TriClub Online Ranking and an Onsite Competition – the IRONMAN Regional TriClub Championship.

IRONMAN TriClub Global Online Ranking

TriClub points are calculated using IRONMAN’s age group ranking system. Any time an athlete races for their club at either an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3, 5150 Event and select WTS Olympic Distance Races they generate age group ranking points for themselves as well as their TriClub. TriClub points are cumulative over the course of a calendar year. The more a TriClub member races with IRONMAN, the greater number of points are credited to the clubs ranking.

IRONMAN Regional TriClub Championship

Clubs registered in the IRONMAN TriClub Program compete in a standalone Regional Championship event, held annually at a selected event in each region.

In the Regional TriClub Championship Final, only the top five individual athlete results from each of the registered clubs will be added together to receive a club grand total. The Club with the most points in each division will be crowned Regional TriClub Champion.

CLUB AFFILIATION

Athletes can change their club affiliation ONCE during one year. Points that an athlete earned UNTIL change date will stay with the old club. Points that will be earned AFTER change date will go to the new club.

QUALIFICATION SYSTEM - CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

1. Any registered IRONMAN TriClub can compete in a Regional TriClub Championship event. A minimum of 5 athletes must be registered from each individual club to be eligible for Championship Final points.

2. Whereas in the TriClub Podium Competition onsite at IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 events where ALL members of the club count to the ranking, in the REGIONAL TRICLUB CHAMPIONSHIP only the 5 Athletes with the highest amount of AGR points will count. The club with the highest total number of cumulative points from their top 5 athletes will be crowned REGIONAL TRICLUB CHAMPION

3. All Athletes affiliated with a club earn points for that club in the qualification race. Athletes needs to be affiliated online not later than two days before the race. After that, affiliations can ONLY be made onsite at the TriClub Check In at registration or at the IRONMAN Athlete Corner where also the latest TriClub start list is available.

4. If two clubs have the same points in the result list of a qualification race, the club with more athletes at that race is ranked higher.

5. Clubs from all regions (America, Asia, Oceania, EMEA) can race for all championship finals globally
